Wedgewood Nougat has become Edward Chamberlain-Bell's latest addiction. Unlike some commercial nougats which are excessively sweet- their nougat has a neutral sweetness so you can really taste the honey, nuts and cranberries. We can't even tell you how wickedly decadent their Belgian chocolate nougat is- just that it is wickedly decadent! Edward Chamberlain-Bell created a pavlova with a chewy nougat twist by filling a meringue nest with nougat chunks, nuts, berries and lashings of cream- a crispy, chewy, nutty surprise! www.wedgewoodnougat.co.za
